<p>I started a tracking issue for the translation process. We could continue our previous policy of offering the survey in any language we get translations for, but this ignores the additional overhead of coordinating translation. Would love people's feedback on this issue: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/surveys/issues/5">https://github.com/rust-lang/surveys/issues/5</a></p>

<p>Seems good. Also keep in mind that answer choices will need to be different for specific regions. For example, for communication channels, since Discord is totally unavailable, Zulip and Github are partially unavailable in China. The major instant-communication choices will be QQ, Wechat and Lark. It's ok to leave the unavailable options in the survey, but be sure to add the major options :)</p>

<p>I don't think the answer options should be different - it makes it hard to compare answers. Also, we shouldn't assume things like that - I use WeChat and I'm outside China, and I'm sure some people in China are using Discord - the GFW is pretty permeable if you have the inclination :-) However, you are correct that we should not limit our answers to the English language defaults.</p>

<p>Yes, those choices were manually added by the Simplified Chinese translation team in the past. Please make sure to include them in the mainline survey then.</p>
